•how we roll•

With a custom made oven shipped from Italy and Chef Alon Shaya’s creative culinary style, PIZZA domenica offers specialty, gourmet pizzas with a unique mix of toppings. Combining toppings like yard egg, tomatoes, fontina, caramelized onions and bacon to create the Wild Mushroom pizza, set PIZZA domenica apart. Complementing the exotic toppings is the unique, specially crafted dough. It has a soft, delicate base that melts in your mouth and is surrounded by a sturdy crust.

IT'S HOW WE ROLL.

Pizza Journey

•our farmers•

We always try our best to serve the most delicious produce we find at the market. Chef Shaya has spent years building relationships with farmers, fishermen and producers in our community. Chef Wilson shops at the Tuesday market each week to find produce for the restaurant and always picks up something extra for his market pizzas that change every week.
